1. FUNDAMENTALS OF ALGEBRA 2A CHAPTER 9 POWERPOINT PRESENTATION CONIC SECTIONS

2. LEARNING TARGETS AFTER YOU COMPLETE THIS CHAPTER, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:
IDENTIFY THE STANDARD FORM OF EQUATIONS FOR CIRCLES,ELLIPSES, PARABOLAS, AND HYPERBOLAS
REWRITE EQUATIONS
DETERMINE: CENTER,RADIUS, FOCUS OR FOCI, DIRECTRIX, ASYMPTOTES FOR CONIC SECTIONS
IDENTIFY ECCENTRICITY

3. THE CIRCLE VOCABULARY
SECTION – AN INTERSECTION OF A PLANE WITH A THREE-DIMENSIONAL FIGURE
CONIC SECTION – AN INTERSECTION OF A PLANE WITH A CONE
CIRCLE – THE SET OF POINTS THAT ARE AT A FIXED DISTANCE CALLED A RADIUS, FROM A FIXED POINT CALLED THE CENTER
RADIUS – DISTANCE FROM THE CENTER OF A CIRCLE OR SPHERE TO THE EDGE

4. CONIC SECTIONS

5. OTHER VIEW OF CONIC SECTIONS

6. THE CIRCLE

7. CONIC SECTION – THE CIRCLE

8. Equation for a Circle Standard Form: x² + y² = r²
You can determine the equation for a circle by using the distance formula then applying the standard form equation.
Or you can use the standard form.
Most of the time we will assume the center is (0,0). If it is otherwise, it will be stated.
It might look like: (x-h)² + (y – k)² = r²

9. ELLIPSES
ELLIPSE – A SET OF POINTS IN A PLANE SUCH THAT THE SUM OF THE DISTANCE FROM TWO FOCI TO ANY POINT ON THE ELLIPSE IS CONSTANT
FOCUS (FOCI - plural) – ONE OF TWO FIXED POINTS WITHIN IN AN ELLIPSE SUCH THAT THE SUM OF THE DISTANCES FROM THE POINTS TO ANY OTHER POINT ON THE ELLIPSE IS CONSTANT

10. What does it look like?

11. Other Ellipses

12. One More Ellipse

13. Vocabulary for Ellipses
VERTICES – FOR AN ELLIPSE, THE Y AND X INTERCEPTS ARE THE VERTICES
MAJOR AXIS – FOR AN ELLIPSE, THE LONGER AXIS OF SYMMETRY, THE AXIS THAT CONTAINS THE FOCI
MINOR AXIS – FOR AN ELLIPSE, THE SHORTER AXIS OF SYMMETRY
CENTER – FOR AN ELLIPSE, THE INTERSECTION OF THE MAJOR AND MINOR ARCS

14. Equation for an Ellipse

15. Parts of an Ellipse

16. EXAMPLES

17. MORE ABOUT ELLIPSES

18. HYPERBOLAS
HYPOBERLA – A SET OF POINTS SUCH THAT THE DIFFERENCE OF THE DISTANCES FROM TWO FIXED POINTS TO ANY POINT ON THE HYPERBOLA IS CONSTANT
VERTICES – X OR Y INTERCEPTS OF A HYPERBOLA
ASYMPTOTE – A STRAIGHT LINE THAT A CURVE APPROACHES BUT NEVER REACHES

19. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?AND WHAT IT ITS FORMULA?

20. ASYMPTOTES (IN RED)

21. ASYMPTOTES

22. PARABOLAS
PARABOLAS – A SET OF POINTS IN A PLANE THAT ARE EQUIDISTANT FROM A FOCUS AND A FIXED LINE – THE DIRECTRIX
DIRECTRIX – THE FIXED STRAIGHT LINE THAT TOGETHER WITH THE POINT KNOWN AS THE FOCUS SERVES TO DEFINE A PARABOLA.

23. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

24. ECCENTRICITY Circle: e = 0 Ellipse: e = 0< e < 1 Parabola: e = 1
ECCENTRICITY – A RATIO OF THE DISTANCE FROM THE FOCUS AND THE DISTANCE FROM THE DIRECTRIX.
EACH SHAPE HAS ITS OWN ECCENTRICY: CIRCLE, PARABOLAS, HYPERBOLAS, AND ELLIPSES.
Circle: e = 0
Ellipse: e = 0< e < 1
Parabola: e = 1
Hyperbola: e > 1
